Betsey Johnson Fall 2012 Makeup

Bright Idea: the Gilded Lids at Betsey Johnson

This Fashion Week has been exceptional for its eye makeup, but the creative use of oversized gold glitter on lids at the Betsey Johnson show was easily a standout. Instead of overwhelming eyes with lots of chunky glitz or shimmer, the makeup artists instead used just a few strategically placed flecks of gold to accentuate the shapes of models' eyes. Combined with bright gold liner in the inner corners and v-shaped taupe shadow to define the crease and lash line, it was a little bit Studio 54 and a lot unexpected glamour. Plus, it's the kind of edgy but alluring look that's actually achievable at home. So next time you're going out with the girls, keep this golden idea in mind.
